Notes

You can also form these broccoli tots easier and faster by using a silicone mini donut tray or a silicone mini muffin tin. Be sure to press down firmly so the mixture stays together with baking.

Make a double batch of this recipe and freeze it for later. Freeze before or after baking. To freeze, place the broccoli tots on a wax paper lined sheet and freeze for 1 hour until frozen solid. Store in a freezer safe bag.
